Comment on Why Browser Company at $610M is cheap

Comments

The browser company is probably the worst buisness idea I have come across in a long time.

Who is going to pay for a closed-source reskinned chromium that only works on Apple products? The entire feature set could be replicated by a few plugins.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a very lucrative business idea.

Yeah the article seems to not cover it, possibly to remain as negative as possible, but I guess it's only the investors that made out with mostly break even. The founders would still have plenty of stock to make a fortune on this - maybe they'll have trouble with getting investment in the future, but if even Adam can do it then anyone can.
